DabuIIIT:

Your Daura President,who is so not impervous to criticism would have done far worse.

kimjongJezebel:


Sehu Sani betrayed Abiola? You don't know anything at all... smh


Do you how the suffering Sehu Sani went through in those days in the hands of the military while the bastards in the corridors of power today were supporting the military? You're fasting and still lying, your fasting is in vain

People like Babagana Kingibe should be removed from that list. And Humphrey Nwosu the former INEC Chairman who refused to announce the winner, should also be excluded. Kingibe betrayed Abiola even though he was Abiola's running mate and went on to serve in Abacha's govt. As for Nwosu, the less said about him, the better. He lacked the balls and forthrightness of Attahiru Jega, and rubbished the whole 1993 election result. .

Guy, just say amen to my wonderful prayer.

oluwaahmed:
Did u expect Humphrey nwosu to go against 4 military dictator who forcefully seized power from a general? Do u know how things were under military rule?
The main blame should go to those his Yoruba brothers that abandoned & betrayed him. Do u know IBB had damning evidence of voter bribery and fraud in the election that made the international community helpless in that situation? Do u know that Al-mustapha was set free bcoz he also had evidence of massive betrayal by high ranking Afonjas? Let themnjus honor the dead president without anyone else bcoz he was on his own during most of his incarceration.

This is the plain and bitter truth. I wonder how the very people that shamelessly abandoned the man even before his death are now rushing to feast on his memory and legacy. MKO fought and died alone. Nobody should even claim to be for him today. Everyone, including family abandoned this man and started romancing with the evil regime that incaserated him and the one that eventually killed him. Please where is that spirit that slapped Rochas, we have some job for him/her.

LaudableXX:

Try to be a bit objective and sensible. Humphrey Nwosu had all the freedom in the world to announce the result, under IBB. He purposely decided to keep mute till date. Was it Abiola's so-called Afonja brothers that spent millions of taxpayers' money conducting an election adjudged to be the fairest and freest in Nigeria, and then refused to announce the winner? Even after IBB left power, and Abacha died, and the civilian regime came into power, what stopped him from setting the records straight?

The same 'Afonjas that you are belittling, were the ones who took to the trenches to form NADECO and forced IBB to step aside. Till date, Nwosu has kept quiet on that issue like the lily-livered coward that he is. Some say he was bribed heavily to keep his mouth shut. I really don't know about that. But if he does not tell the truth about what really took place during that election, before leaving this earth, posterity will never forgive him.

flexyrule:
This is one of the metalities that has kept us backward as a country.

So because he is a party member, he should keep mum about party policies and decisions that aren't right?

azpekuliar:
On Humphery Nwosu, compare apples with apples and not with oranges. The circumstances under which Nwosu worked cannot be compared to the circumstances under which Jega worked and he performed creditably well.

Firstly, there was nothing independent about NEC then, even now I would consider the current INEC to still be independent in name only. He was intimidated by the top military brass (a large section of whom did not want the transition program to go ahead) and all manner of kangaroo court judgement and injunctions to not conduct the election at all, yet he went ahead. Recall that this was a period where the military was known for gross human rights violations.

Secondly, he introduced reforms that revolutionized elections in this country with the option A4. A reason why till today the election is still adjudged to be the freest and fairest election in Nigeria's history, a feat that Jega did not surpass.

On not announcing the results (officially), the collation was beamed live on a billboard at NEC's headquarters. All the results were in except that of only 1 state - Taraba state. MKO was home and dry already. The results were known to all. I think at this stage he did not wish to push his luck too far against the anti-democratic elements in the AFRC.

I am convinced beyond any doubt that he displayed uncommon courage and forthrightness despite all the shenanigans of the time and such deserves a national award.

Akolawole:


Are you saying Kola and Kudirat abandon him?

Soyinka, Adebanjo, I get and the rest stood by him till the end.

GavelSlam:
Can't he name those that betrayed Abiola?

Matter of fact, why is he crying more than the bereaved?

He's neither an Abiola nor a Yoruba man.

I've never seen such evil people in my life.

You are in a political party but oppose everything they do and you do so publicly.

Why then are you in the party?

DabuIIIT:
again,for once,2nd time,well spoken.
But be it known unto ye that what we had then was'nt Afonja as what obtains today. Note that for your health,HY.

Very correct

Is it not surprising that IPOIGBOS will on a normal day call Yoruba's Afonjas claiming they are traitors while terming Hausa-Fulanis almajiris and Islamic terrorists but are ready to feed on the poo from any Buhari critic that is ftom this ethnic group.

tiwiex:
Do you know what u are talking about at all? Humphrey Nwosu was one of the heros of June 12. If not for him, we would have no June 12. They tried to force him to stop the election but he went ahead. Abeg check your history bro.

hiding under Buhari's popularity nah, coz once he joined pdp he's finished politically

But he betrayed Abiola and he's eating from government today.

LaudableXX:


Till today, Humphrey Nwosu has kept quiet about the true winner of that election and the events that transpired underground which led to the annulment. Beaming the results live, is NOT the same as an accredited govt representative, declaring an official winner of an election. Nwosu's failure to submit an official record of that event made it difficult to tender INEC's statement as a valuable piece of evidence, in court when Abiola was trying to validate his mandate through the law courts. The circumstances in 1993 and the circumstance today, are different like you say. So what has held him by the throat till date, and made him refuse to tell the truth, about that election? He wrote a book titled Laying the Foundation for Nigeria’s Democracy: My Account of June 12, 1993 in 2008. Yet, he still kept quiet about the winner of that election. What kind of a coward does that, more than 15 years after the event?

He did not display any courage. He merely displayed uncommon cowardice. And he has continued showing everyone the same trait, till date!
